In the organizer's words:
Romane Holderried Kaesdorf at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart
A rediscovery of an extraordinary draughtswoman
Romane Holderried Kaesdorf, born in 1922 and died in 2007, is one of the most exciting voices in contemporary graphic art in southwest Germany. The Kunstmuseum Stuttgart is now dedicating an exhibition to her for the first time, opening up a view of an oeuvre that is at once headstrong, clear and unmistakable.
Holderried Kaesdorf drew almost daily for over five decades. While many artists turned to abstraction after the war, she made a conscious decision to go her own way. Her drawings are among the outstanding achievements of the medium in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Despite this enormous quality, her fame was long limited primarily to Baden Württemberg. The Gallery of the City of Stuttgart began acquiring works by her as early as 1953. Today, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart owns twenty works by the artist.
The exhibition combines the museum's holdings with valuable loans from public and private collections. On display is a representative cross-section of her work since the 1960s. On display are surreal scenes, drawings of men and women and late works in which she develops great narrative power with a few precise lines. The exhibition conveys an impressive picture of the formal and thematic development of her unique visual language.
An intensive look at an artist whose attitude and style point far beyond her time.
